Lesson 1: Supporting Statements

Question 1 is based on the poem below

What is this life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare?

No time to stand beneath the boughs

And stare as long as sheep or cows.

No time to see, when woods we pass,

Where squirrels hide their nuts in grass

No time to see, in broad daylight,

Streams full of stars, like skies at night.

No time to turn at Beauty’s glance,

And watch her feet, how they can dance.

No time to wait till her mouth can

Enrich that smile her eyes began.

A poor life if, full of care,

We have no time to stand and stare.
-- W. H. Davies

After reading the story, enter the details in the map below. This will help you to answer the
questions that follow.

Once there was a severe drought. There was little water in Tony’s well, and he didn’t know what would
happen to the fruit trees in his garden. Just then, he noticed three men looking intently at his house.
He was certain that the three strangers were planning to rob his house. He acted quickly. He shouted
out to his son, “My son, due to the drought, money has become scarce. There are many thieves. Let
us protect our valuables, and put all of our jewels in a box and throw them into the well. They will be
safe there.” He quickly told his son to put some large stones in a box and throw them into the well.
The thieves heard the sound of the box falling into the well and were happy.

That night they came to the well. The box was heavy and had landed deep down in the well. To get it,
they would have to take out some of the water. They started drawing water from the well and pouring
it onto the ground. Tony had made arrangements to make sure that the water reached his fruit trees.
He had channels leading from the well to each of the trees.

By the time thieves found the box, they had drawn out enough water to water the trees. It was almost
dawn. Tony sent for the soldiers, and just as the thieves were trying to open the box, they were caught
red-handed.

questions that follow.
The Glass Cupboard

There was a king who had a cupboard that was made entirely of glass. It was a special cupboard. It
looked empty, but you could always take out anything you wanted. There was only one thing that had
to be remembered. Whenever something was taken out of it, something else had to be put back in,
although nobody knew why.

One day some thieves broke into the palace and stole the cupboard. “Now, we can have anything
we want,” they said. One of the thieves said, “I want a large bag of gold,” and he opened the glass
cupboard and got it. The other two did the same, and they, too, got exactly what they wanted. The
thieves forgot one thing. Not one of them put anything back inside the cupboard.
This went on and on for weeks and months. At last, the leader of the thieves could bear it no longer.
He took a hammer and smashed the glass cupboard into a million pieces, and then all three thieves
fell down dead.

When the king returned home, he ordered his servants to search for the cupboard. When the servants
found it and the dead thieves, they filled sixty great carts with the gold and took it back to the king. He
said, “If those thieves had only put something back into the cupboard, they would be alive to this day.”

He ordered his servants to collect all of the pieces of glass and melt into a globe of the world with
all the countries on it; this was to remind himself and others, to give back something in return when
someone shows an act of kindness or gives us something

Question 11 is based on the story below

The Traveler

A weary traveler stopped at Sam’s house and asked him for shelter for the night. Sam was a friendly
soul. He not only agreed to let the traveler stay for the night; he decided to treat his guest to some
curried chicken. So he bought a couple of chickens from the market and gave them to his wife to
cook. Then he went off to buy some fruit.

Now Sam’s wife could not resist food. She had a habit of eating as she cooked. So, as she cooked
the meat, she smelled the rich steam and could not help tasting a piece. It was tender and delicious,
and she decided to have another piece. Soon there was only a tiny bit left. Her little son, Kevin, ran
into the kitchen. She gave him that little piece.

Kevin found it so tasty that he begged his mother for more. But there was no more chicken left. The
traveler, who had gone to have a wash, returned. The woman heard him coming and had to think
of a plan quickly. She began to scold her son loudly. “Your father has taught you a shameful and
disgusting habit. Stop it, I tell you!” The traveler was curious. “What habit has his father taught the
child?” he asked.
“Oh,” said the woman, “Whenever a guest arrives, my husband cuts off their ears and roasts them
for my son to eat.”

The traveler was shocked. He picked up his shoes and fled.

“Why has our guest left in such a hurry?” asked Sam when he came back.

“A fine guest indeed!” exclaimed his wife. “He snatched the chickens out of my pot and ran off with
them!”

“The chickens!” exclaimed Sam. He ran after his guest, shouting. “Let me have one, at least; you may
keep the other!” But his guest only ran faster!

 ANSWER KEY AND
DETAILED EXPLANATION

Chapter 1: Reading Literature

Lesson 1: Supporting Statements
Question No. Answer Detailed Explanations
1 C In the first stanza, the poet asks a question as shown with the
question mark at the end. Beginning in each of the other stanzas the
poet begins each one with the phrase “No time.” He is telling all of
the things that one may not have time to do. However, in the final
stanza, the poet answers the question using a statement that begins
with “A poor life.”
2 D The word “cunning” means one who is full of tricks. At the begin-
ning of the passage, Tony would be best described as “cautious”,
because he was trying to prevent the thieves from robbing him. The
“well” is just an element in the story that creates the problem. The
“thieves” are the villains in the story. In the end, Tony does become
clever and outwits the thieves. However, the best title for this story
is “The Clever Idea,” because it sums up what was done to catch
“the thieves” and solve the problem.
3 D The passage shows that Tony asks his son “to put all of the valu-
ables in the box.” The passage does not mention clothes. Howev-
er, when Tony refers to their valuables, he calls them jewels. Tony
also ordered his son to load another box with stones and throw it
into the well. This is the box that the thieves would get while the
family’s valuables are protected.
4 A The passage supports the correct answer to how Tony’s fruit trees
got water, because “the thieves” drew water from the well and
poured it onto the ground. Neither the thieves nor Tony, directly
watered the fruit trees. The word “not” in the answer choice “the
thieves did not draw water from the well” makes that choice incor-
rect.

Question No. Answer Detailed Explanations
5 B The correct answer is that “the thieves were caught red-handed,”
and the passage supports the answer. However, the passage states
that the jewels were protected in another box. The passage men-
tions that money was scarce, and there wasn’t any in the box that
the thieves pulled from the well. The answer choice “the thieves did
not find the box” is incorrect, because they actually drew the box up
from the bottom of the well, but did not open it.
6 D In the first paragraph of the passage, there is direct evidence for the
“all of the above” answer, because we know that there has been a
severe drought situation. It also introduces the characters Tony, his
son, and the thieves. It also states that the thieves have overheard
Tony talking with his son about protecting their valuables, so they
have a plan to get that box. This becomes the problem that the
reader is waiting to be solved.
7 D The correct answer is all of the above, because one may conclude
from each of the detailed choices in the passage that there was a
severe drought, little water in the well, and money was scarce. This
is evidence that the country was going through a difficult time.
8 C There isn’t any evidence in the passage that indicates that there
was a storm that crashed the cupboard when the king was gone.
The statement that people in the passage accidentally broke the
glass cupboard is not accurate. However, it does say that the thieves
broke into the palace and stole the glass cupboard. “None of the
above” does not apply.
9 A There is evidence in the passage that correctly supports the answer
that the thieves took gold out of the cupboard. However, there isn’t
evidence that there were silver, diamonds, or stones taken from the
cupboard, so these answer choices are incorrect.
10 D There isn’t evidence in the passage to support that the thieves were
told to take everything out of the cupboard, to break the cupboard,
or to take gold out of the cupboard. However, there is evidence to
support that the thieves should have remembered to put something
back into the cupboard each time that they took something out.
11 Part A D There is evidence in the passage to support the correct answer that
Sam ran after the traveler to get one of his chickens. However, there
is no evidence to support that Sam ran after the traveler because
he wanted him to stay, or to get one of the traveler’s ears or shoes.

Question No. Answer Detailed Explanations
11 Part B B The passage indicates that the traveler picked up his shoes and ran
out of the house because he was scared. However, when the travel-
er went to wash up, the wife was supposed to have chicken cooked
and ready for the traveler to eat. The passage indicates that the
traveler was weary or tired, but there isn’t evidence to support that
the traveler was curious. He was frightened into running off. None
of the above is incorrect, because there is an answer from the given
choices.
